The different accessor functions for C++ protobuf classes are documented in detail here:
http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/reference/cpp-generated.html Message objects can be large, so you should avoid copying them if possible. Instead, you should use the mutable_() accessor to get a pointer to the sub-message early on, and then modify that sub-message directly, rather than build a separate object and then copy it. For example: DON'T do this: Foo foo; SetupFoo(&foo); Bar bar; bar.mutable_foo()->CopyFrom(foo); Do this instead: Bar bar; SetupFoo(bar.mutable_foo()); This avoids copying, thus making your code more efficient. It's also shorter. On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 8:13 AM, jayt0...@gmail.com <jayt0...@gmail.com>wrote: > > I am having trouble accessing many members of my .proto file.
